Last week, we posted a few items here on Compiler and on Wired News about Google's recent purchase of Jaiku, the presence aware address book and communication service. Jaiku lets users keep their friends up to date about where they are and how they can best be reached at any given time. Some see Google's acquisition as the next step towards a living social web, one where our phones and our physical place become part of an ever-expanding social network. Some see it as the unequivocal death of privacy, making everyone reachable at all times.
